From '75 to 79, Gretsch offered both solid and hollow-body Broadkaster guitars. The hollow variants were considerably nicer, and are also noticeable for being Gretsch's only true semi-hollowbodies, in the Gibson 335 vein. The 7609 was the red version of the Broadkaster holllowbody, with a stop tailpiece.
